Mooring for Russian naval ships restored at Syria’s Tartus seaport

---

The quay for Russian naval ships to moor at has been restored at the Syrian seaport of Tartus. The restoration work was done by the crew of a Russian Black Sea auxiliary vessel. Tartus hosts a materiel support station that was once built to repair and supply Soviet ships navigating the Mediterranean. In December Russia’s Navy reappeared in the World Ocean following a 15-year break.
